infill that blends in with our existing neighborhood?

Don't Get Towed!
It's
time again to clean the streets in your neighborhood! The Northwest
Clean Sweep keeps our streets safe and attractive and removes leaves
and other debris to prevent storm water drains from clogging. The
first clean sweep starts on Wednesday, December 3. All vehicles
remaining in the designated sweep area after 7:30 am will be towed at
the owner's expense.
Learn more about the city of Portland's Clean Sweep Program.
